Illusory intuitions

Abstract

"The feeling of having done a good day’s work is common to everyone in the labour market, including teachers. However, learning is more difficult to measure than the number of patients cared for, cars repaired, or files processed. How can teachers determine whether they’ve had a good day’s work? When a teacher thinks they’ve had a good day, is it really true? The question is not insignificant, because if teachers adjust their practice according to "good days" that aren’t really so great, professional development can be compromised."-- AQPC
